    Driving to Bmore for sisters tomorrow, then to the Mountains for brothers
    Why would a "non believer" celebrate that crap?

    Christmas is a legal holiday in the United States? Why can't people celebrate it as they wish?

    They absolutely can do as they like BUT I was actually pointing out the FACT that that she's the one that called "Christianity" "crap" in another post. I don't buy into moslem holidays nor do I celebrate them.... if I did that would be hypocritical would it not? http://talk.baltimoresun.com/showpos...&postcount=215

    Who says she's celebrating Christianity? There's a lot to Christmas that is only tangentially related to Christianity.

    Christmas trees and gift giving have their roots in Christianity, ie the gift of the Wise Men.

    Christmas trees originate no further back than the 15th Century... Even <shriek>Mohammed<shriek> goes back further than that.

    Happy 'Boxing Day' my friend, I got to hear Southend win 3-0 this morning and move into the top 3 automatic promotion places. Everybody but me today are back at work while I get to kick back all day! We will be getting to our "Brown Pickle" making between now and New Year and will let you know how we get on! Thanks again to your good lady, Mrs Byng will be contacting her now that the Holiday rush is over.

    Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, or "hope you had a great day off" to everyone.

    Happy Boxing Day to you too Byng.

    Yes, your 'Shrimpers' are going very well at the moment and looking good prospects for promotion. Sadly, my 'Eagles' have dropped a few points over the last few games and have dropped to 4th place today, losing 2-1 to the Division leaders Cardiff.

    We had some of Mrs. Wzds 'Brown Pickle' today along with her 'Mustard Pickle' and pickled onions to accompany our traditional Boxing Day fare of 'Bubble and Squeak' and cold turkey, ham, chipolatas and stuffing, etc... phew! stuffed again.

    Regards to Mrs. 'B'.

    I think he was referring to Christmas trees Sprightly. The Three Wise Men brought Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, not Christmas trees.
